Fosolia Ingredients

Method

Fosolia Directions

1

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash the green beans and trim the ends. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Mince the garlic and chop the onion.

2

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3

Cook the Vegetables

Add the green beans and carrots to the skillet. Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

4

Simmer

Pour in the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.

5

Finish and Serve

Once cooked, remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley. Serve warm as a side dish.
